I am a Manchester-born photographer and artist who has recently returned to my home city after 25 years away. I have been a regular contributor to the New York Times, shooting portraits of famous people, interesting people, the odd nutter, together with cultural stories. My work has appeared in National Geographic, Newsweek, Time, Stern, International Herald Tribune, Intelligent Life, and The Guardian Weekend magazine. I am also a contract photographer with the International AIDS Society and The Union of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, as well as being a member of Panos Pictures in London. In 2015 I completed an MFA in Fine Art at Goldsmith’s in London. So when I’m not shooting for clients or engaged in photography personal projects, I can be found working on my artwork in my studio surrounded by heaps of negatives, prints, a scalpel, and a pair scissors.
